A EEQUEST FOR INFORMATION. 

The following pages contain an abstract of one line of a large genea- 
logical collection which it is hoped to malce, with your assistance, as complete 
as possible. 

Will you be good enough to (1) call the attention of the compiler to any 
inaccuracies of statement there may be, no matter how slight; (2) supply 
missing dates wherever you can; (3) send unpublished anecdotes and other 
information about the persons named in this abstract; (4) state the cause of 
death of all ancestors — and also of their sisters and brothers ; ( 5) kindly lend 
to the compiler, for a few days, any paper, (letters, deeds, wills, etc.), 
which may contain a signature of one of the direct ancestors named herein. 

It is thought that nearly all possible information from published histories 
has been obtained, hence this personal appeal. The completed genealogy, 
which it is proposed to publish at some future time, will contain over 55 
pictures of different grandparents, and about 75 pictures of homes they oc- 
cupied, monuments, tablet-inscriptions, graves, and other interesting matter 
of a pictorial nature. The work is of such magnitude that it has been 
found necessary to coniine it to one direct line, only giving the names 
of collateral relatives. 

The completed collection will consist of three volumes, the first relatino' 
to my paternal line, the secondto my maternal line and the third to the line 
of my late wife, Clara Mitchell Macbeth. 

In various places it will be noticed that I have referred to "List of 
South Carolina Huguenots " and " Huguenots of SouthCarolina." The "List 
of South Carolina Huguenots " is simply a list, published in pamphlet form, 
by Daniel Eavenel (brother of James 106), of AYantoot, in 18G8, of the 
"French and Swiss Protestants who desired naturalization in 1695-6." 
The " Huguenots of South Carolina " was taken from a pamphlet published 
by Dr. T. Gaillard Thomas, the correct title being: " A Contribution to the 
History of the Huguenots of South Carolina, by Samuel Dubose, Esq., and 
Prof. Frederick A. Porcher." All the dates mentioned were sent to me by 
various relatives, and were either copied from the family bibles iu their 
possession, or, from other authentic sources. When the collection is com- 
pleted it is intended to give the authority, wherever possible, for every 
statement made, with the address of informant. Though this will entail 
much labor it will form a valuable family record for future generations.

It is a harder thing to make out a clear and certain ancestry going 
back 120 years than the average citizen thinks until he tries it: and to es- 
tablish an ancestor's service in the war is more difficult yet. The old ar- 
chives have been burned and wasted, the rosters have disappeared in many 
instances, family tradition is all that there is to prove one's title clear — and 
family tradition does not admit to the Society of the Sons of the Eevolu- 
tion. The New England records are in the best condition and the Middle 
States, except Deleware, have excellent and well preserved annals. Mary- 
laud and Virginia's are meagre. The revolutionary rolls of North Caro- 
Jifta are wholly lost'; South Carolina's are almost in the same fix and 
Georgia alone of the Southern States has anything like a complete roster of 
the men sent to the war. When the British burned Washington, an im- 
mense number of the records were lost, and the Civil War made farther in- 
roads into the Southern muniments. Still, it is said by those who know, 
that once a man takes up a genealogy as a study, he will seldom abandon it 
until he has settled his personal problem anyway. (St. Louis Post-Dis- 
patch, September 29th, 1895.) 



Baluet : 

Esther Madeleine Baluet aud Judith Baluet seem to have come from the 

same part of France and were probably sisters. 
Judith Baluet married Benjamin Marion. 

(1) Esther Madeleine Baluet, tenth generation, married Antoine Cordes 

(18), (List of So. Ca. Huguenots). 

Bossu : 

Bossu (le) de Chimay en Flandre. De guenles a la bande d'or. (In- 
serted for future reference). 

(2) Elizabeth Bossu, twelfth generation, was probably a native of St. 

Quentin, France. She married Jacques Leger (60), a native of 
that place. (List of So. Ca. Huguenots). 

Boiihier : 

(3) Sarah Bouhier, twelfth generation, according to the List of the So. 

Ca. Huguenots, married Charles Buretel. 

Buretel : 

(4) Charles Buretel, twelfth generation, was probably a native of La 

Rochelle, France. He married Sarah Bouhier, (3). They had a 
son named Pierre (5), (the emigrant), who was born in La 
Eochelle, France. (List of So. Ca. Huguenots). 

Pierre Buretel (5), died before June 12th, 1712, as mention is 
made at that time of his widow in the settlement of the Estate 
of Alexander Chastaigner (13). 

(5) Pierre Buretel, eleventh generation, married Elizabeth Chintrie (15), 

and had a daughter named Elizabeth (6), born ; 

died 

(6) Elizabeth Buretel, tenth generation, married Alexandre Thdsee Chas- 

taigner (12). 

Bargeaiid : 

(7) Jeanne Burgeaud, tenth generation, was a native of L'isle de Re. 

She married Elias Prioleau (91), the emigrant. 



Challiou : 

(8) Louis Challiou, teutii geueration (or Challiou), married Benoite 

Pitauer (89). They had a daughter named Catherine (9), who is 
mentioned in the List of So. Ca. Huguenots, as having been born 
in Lyons, France. As there is no record of her parents having 
come to this country, she probably married in France. 

(9) Catheriue Challion, uiuth generation, married Noah Serre' (109). 

Chardou : 

Madeleiue Chardon (10), married first, Louis Pasquereau, and had three 
childreu: Pierre and Isaac, born in Tours, and Charles, born in London. 

(10) Madeleine Chardon, tenth generation, married secondly, in London, 

Phillippe Gendron (37). 

Chasteigner : 

In " Guerre's de la Vendee," page 644i, under the Coat of Arms, the name 
is spelt " De Chasteigaer " and is doubtless the correct way. 

(11) Roch Chastaiguer, eleventh generation, owned an estate known as 

the Chateau of Cramahe, which was situated about five miles 

southeast of La Rochelle, France. He married Jeanne 

( ) and had the following children : 

Hector Francois, born ; died ; 

remained in France. 
Henry Auguste, born ; died , 

married. 
Alexandre Thesee (12), born ; died 

; who emigrated to America. 

(12) Alexandre Thesee Chastaiguer, teuth generation, married Elizabeth 

Buretel (6) and had three children, viz, : 

Alexander ( 13), born ; died early in life and 

prior to June 12th, 1712. 
Elizabeth Madeleine, born ; died , 

married Ralph Izai'd. 

Henrietta Charlotte, born ; died 

married Nathaniel Broughton. 



(13) Alexandei- Chastaigner, ninth generation, married iu America, 

Elizabetli Susanne LeNoble (64), and had only one child, a 
daughter named Catherine Elizabeth (14), born September 17th, 
1711, died January 17th, 1748-49. 
According to my conclusion the " Catherine Chataguer " and Paul 
Mazyck mentioned in connection with the death of Eene Ravenel 
(Ravenel Records, page 255) refers to Catherine Elizabeth Chas- 
taigner and her husband, Paul Mazyck. If correct, husband and 
wife died the same day. 

( 14) Catherine Elizabeth Chastaigner, eighth generation, married 

Paul Mazyck (78). 

r 

Chlntre : 

Chintre' en Maconnais. De guenles h. la bande engrelee d'argent. (In- 
serted for future reference). 

(15) Elizabeth Chintrie, (or Chintre), eleventh generation, married 

Pierre Buretel (5). (List of So. Ca. Huguenots). 
Coker : 

( 16) Ellinor Coker, ninth generation, born ; died 1745 ; 

married Isaac Cordes (19). 

Nothing is known of ElHnor Coker, except that she married in the Bar- 
badoes. Many of her descendants have long been under the impression that 
Isaac Cordes married a ' Cocas ' or ' Ellicott,' but Major TheodoreG. Barker, 
from whom I quote the following, iu my ojiiniou, sets the matter at rest. 

" The authority upon which I have erased 'Ellicott' and left the text 
to read ' Ellinor Coker ' is as follows : 

First — No evidence can be found to sustain the assertion (contained in 
the 'Cordes record' found among the papers of Mr. Daniel Ravenel) 
that Isaac Cordes married Ellinor Ellicott. 

Second — The linger 'Cordes record' — does not mention 'Ellinor 
Ellicott,' but states that the second wife of Isaac Cordes was ' Ellinor 
Cocas ' — (no doubt a corruption frpm ' Coker '). 

Third — Shortly before her death (at the age of 90), I asked my aunt, 
Miss Ellinor Cordes Barker, Who was ' Ellinor Ellicott ' or ' Ellinor 
Cocas ' ? Her reply was to me very conclusive, viz: 'I never heard of any 
Ellinor Ellicott or Ellinor Cocas; ' Ma, (as she always called her Mother), 



6 

• Ma always told us that we got our headaches (a family iuheritance) from 
Ellinor Coker.' 

Fourth — James Jamison Cordes, who went to England from South 
Carolina in 1821, adopted or inherited a book plate, a copy of which Mr. 
Alex. H. Mazyck now has, (it was given to him by Mrs. Thomas Cordes, 
the wife of Thomas, who was the sou of James Jamieson Cordes. She re- 
sides in England). The book plate shows the coat of arms above described, 
(a bear standing erect on its hind legs, and holding in his fore-paws an 
orb or globe, surmounted by a cross). At the same time Mrs. Thomas 
Cordes sent from England to Mr. Mazyck a copy of the book plate of 
Thomas Cordes, her husband, which exhibits the bear holding the orb, etc., 
of the Cordes Coat of Arms, with the Coker Arms, (three leopard heads sur- 
rounded with a band), quartered upon the Cordes arms. This shows that a 
Cordes, in the olden time, had married a Coker, not a 'Cocas' nor an 
' Ellicott ' and that the old people of that day so believed. I do not think a 
more interesting piece of corroborative proof of an historical fact can be 
found." 

Cordes: 

A seal which belonged to Thomas Cordes, who married Charlotte Evance, 
and a tombstone at old Biggin Church show that the family bore the 
arms assigned by Riestap to " Cordes Marquis de Cordue, in Provence, 
vie. "D'azur a un ours ramp, d'arg. sup. de ses pattes de devant un 
monde d'or, cintr'e et croiss'e du menie. S. un aigle de gu. D. Ferme 
an adversit'e;" that is: On a blue field a bear standing erect and hold- 
ing in his fore-paws an orb of gold encircled also in gold and surmounted 
by a golden cross. Crest, a red eagle. Motto: Stedfast in Adversity. 
(Transactions of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, No. 12, 
page 53).

Hugh Hext (50), according to an affidavit made by his daughter Martha, 
was a native of Dorsetshire, England. A letter was written to the 
postmaster of Frome, Somersetshire, England, hut no reply was received 
though it was stated in the letter that he (or the curate of the parish) 
would be recompensed for any services rendered. The reason for writ- 
ing to that place was because it was stated in the will of Edward Hext 
(son of Hugh) proved at Charles Town, February 22nd, 1741, that he 
left property to " my kinsman,'" Philip Hext of Frome, Somerset- 
shire, England, "the father of Thomas Hext, lately deceased." 
It was thought possible that through the Hext's of Frome, 
that connection could be made with those living in the adjoin- 
ing county of Dorsetshire. Edward, the son mentioned above, left 
property also to his "sister Katherine, still in Great .Britain." 
His sister being " still in Great Britain," would indicate that 
the children were grown or nearly so, when, " he arrived in this 
country, prior to 1684." Hugh Hext would hardly have left his 
daughter Katherine in England if she had been of tender years.

David Hext (51), was made a commissioner by Gov. William Bull, 
May 7th, 1843, to make satisfaction to proprietors whose lands were 
damaged by works lately erected. He was also made a Commissioner 
on fortifications May 25th, 1745. (" Statute Book," Volume3, pages 
608 and 656). The So. Ca. Gazette of April 10th, 1749, states that 
he was a member of the Assembly. The notes from which the above 
were copied are very indistinct. (Inserted for future reference.) 

(51) David Hext, ninth generation, married Ann, 

( ), and was her third husband. 

(Ann, who died in 1755, marrried, first, David Loughton; second, 
George Barnet). David Hext and his wife Ann, had the follow- 
ing children :

Johnston: 

Robert Johnston (53) is supposed to have been the name of the father of 
Charles Johnston (54). It is tradition that the latter was the first to 
come to this country. Tradition, however, from my experience which 
is by no means a limited one, is very frequently wrong. In the will of 
Robert Mackenzie (74), father-in-law of Charles Johnston (54), recorded 
in book "B " page 413, Probate Court, Charleston, So. Ca. the wit- 
nesses were Marian Johnston and Robert Johnston. Charles Johnston 



17 

(54) had a daughter named Marian. It is my belief that Marian John- 
ston was either an aunt or sister and Robert Johnston either an uncle or 
father of Charles Johnston. It is tradition that the father of Charles 
Johnston was named Roliert. Judiiino; from the names and the connec- 
tion with the Mackenzies there mast have been a close relationship be- 
tween the three. A search of the records of Charleston, So. Ca. would 
probably establish this. 

Charles Johnston in his will proved at Charleston, So. Ca., April 21st., 
1804, bequeathed " to my sister Joan in Scotland, tifteen pounds per 
annum to be remitted to her without deduction during her natural life. " 

There is no way of tracing the Johnstons unless the records of the Pro- 
bate in Charleston, So. Ca. can enlighten us. The final report of the 
Executors of the will of Charles Johnston (54), may give the place of 
residence of " my sister Joan, in Scotland. " 

(53) Robert ( ? ) Johnston, seventh generation, married , 

Catherine Melville (80), and had, I believe, the following children: 
Charles (54), burn 1732; died January 23rd, 

1804.

, Kiugsley. 

Joan, born ; died (It is 

tradition that he had a sister named Wilhemina).

Macbeth: 

Very little is known of the Macbeths from whom we are descended but 
from various sources I learn that three brothers came to this country and 
left at least four sisters in Scotland, named Elizabeth, Jeannette, Mary 
and Henrietta. Their father married twice, as it is well known in the 
family that two of the brothers, James and John, were half brothers to 
the other, named Alexander. Alexander (and may be some, or all of 
the sisters) were older than James and John. Alexander Macbeth, judg- 
ing from his will, died unmarried. James Macbeth is stated to have been 
a native of the County of Nairn, Scotland. It is tradition that his half 
brother, Alexander, came to America prior or during the Revolution. 
The latter is mentioned in a year book of Charleston as being one of the 
prominant citizens who welcomed the British when they took possession 
of that City. James Macbeth had a full brother named John, "born in 
the County of Nairn, Scotland, on the 25th of December, 1768." This 
date we get from Robert Macbeth, son of John Macbeth and it is reason- 
able to suppose it is correct. Acting on this information I wrote to Scot- 
land and had all of the records of Nairn, which is divided into three 
parishes, examined. It is very strange, in view of the fact that Robert 
Macbeth (son of John) makes the positive statement that his father was 
born in the County Nairn, and gives the date of his birth, that nothing 



21 

could be learned, though every effort was made. It being impossible to 
learn anything of the family in Nairn, I suggest, that the final report of 
the Executors of the Estate of Alexander Macbeth, whose will was proven 
at Union So. Ca., June 7th, 1819, be carefully examined, if for any 
reason I am not able to do so. 
According to the Judge of Probate of Union So. Ca. , no returns were made 
at that place by the Executors and I am inclined to believe that as Alex- 
ander Macbeth had large interests in Charleston, his will was probated 
also at that place and that it is there that the, final report of the executors 
"will be found. Alexander Maclieth made provision in his will for four 
sisters" then living in Scotland," named Elizabeth, Jeaunette, Mary and 
Henrietta. The executors, who were James Macbeth, John Macbeth and 
Alexander Hay, must have tiled receipts from the four sisters when they 
asked for their final discharge and an examination of the papers of this 
estate may give the desired information. A search made on the same lines 
of papers belonging to the estate of Eobert Mackenzie (74), and Charles 
Johnston (54), may also result successfully. 
A nephew of Alexander Macbeth, named Alexander Henry, came to this 
country in 1830 or 31 to see about a legacy left to his mother by Alex- 
ander Macbeth. Henry was a very large man and said he had brothers 
of the same build. I presume the impression that a sister of James 
Macbeth married, , Heury and that another mar- 
ried, , Julie came from him. (Mr. Richard Y. 

Macbeth). 

Alexander Macbeth, born .... , ; died in Union, So.

Mackeuzlo: 

Robert Mackenzie was doubtless the tirst of the family who came to this 
country and, judging from his will, probably came from Leith, Scot- 
land. His will, which of record in Charleston So. Ca. in Book " B," 
page 413 (a copy of which is included in this collection), makes a be- 
quest " to my nephew, James Mackenzie," " same shall be remitted to 
John Thompson of Leith," and also "to my sister Mary Dickson, in 
Great Britain." He having survived both his nephew and his sister, a 
codicil is added and he makes bequests " to my niece, Margaret Fisher 
and Penelope Thompson, in North Britain." The latter may have been 
a daughter of " John Thompson of Leith." He mentions as executors, 
" Nephews Robert Mackenzie Jr., John Mackenzie, Andrew Mackenzie," 
and among the witnesses to the will arc. " Marian Johnston and " Rob- 



24 



ert Johnston." An examination of tlie records of Leith, Scotland, 
must be made for further infor.uation regarding Rol.ert Mackenzie un- 
less ,t ,s possible to locate the descendants, if any, of his nephews Rob- 
ert. John an<l Andrew Mackenzie and from them learn somethin<. of the 
family ,n Scotland. (See Johnston (53) for remarks on Marian John- 
ston and Robert Johnston). 

(74) Robert Mackenzie, seventh generation, died about 1787- mar-

Graveyard, St. John's, Berkley County, So. Ca., but if so the 

grave is unmarked. 

( 79) Charlotte Mazyck, seventh generation, married 

Daniel Ravenel (104). 

Melville : 

Katherine Melville was the wife of Robert (?) Johnston. It is my belief 
that she was the niece, or daughter, of a certain John Melvill, who was 
at one time Steward or Factor, to the House of Buccleuch, at Lang- 
holm, Scotland. This John Melvill was the son of Robert Melvill, 
Esq., of Caskerdo, and Isabel, daughter of William Mason (?) of 

It is tradition that we were related to the 

Buccleuchs but the relationship was very likely with John Melvill. 
Charles Johnston (54) probably corresponded with John Melvill and it 
was in this way that the relationship (?) with the Buccleuchs arose, as 
John Melvill, being their Factor, was, of course, closely associated 
with them. John Melvill had a sister named Elizabeth, who married 
David Malcolm, an ancestor of Hon. W. E. Malcolm of Burnfoot, 
Langholm, Scotland. It is strange that our Johnston ancestors would 



26 

have corresponded with Mr. Malcolm's if there had been no connection. 
Mr. Malcolm, in a letter to me, July 1st, 1895, stated that " the Mal- 
colms at Burnfoot (Langholm), had corresponded with three old Miss 
Johnstons and their nieces at Charleston, So. Ca., but their connection 
was never traced." The connection may have been known durin^ 
Charles Johnston's time. Charles Johnston had a sister named Isabel, 
who married Kiugsley of London. Robert Melvill's wife was named 
Isabel. 
The following is a copy of the memorandum Mr. Malcolm enclosed in his 
letter to me and which he copied from one written by Hon. Philip 
Melvill and sent by him to Sir Charles Malcolm, October 7th, 1842. 
Memorandum: Robert Melvill, E^^q., of Caskerdo, married Isabel, 
daughter of William Mason (?), and died about 1G69, leaving issue: 
1. John, secretary to the Earl of Melvill, when secretary for Scotland, 
and afterwards Steward or Factor to the Duchess of Buccleuch, at 
Langholm; 2. William, who had issue, a daughter, who married Mr. 
Douglas of the family of Telquhillie, in Kincardinshire. Amongst the 
children of this marriage was Mr. Douglas, late Bishop of Salisbury; 
3. James; 4. Charles, M. D. (was one of the maternal uncles of Robert 
Malcolm, son of David Malcolm and Elizabeth Melvill); 5. Robert; 
6. Thomas, who had issue, a son Thomas, a man of great genius, ap- 
pointed Governor in Chief of our Settlements in Africa, and died at 
Cape Coast Castle, in 1756; 7. Elizabeth, above mentioned, who mar- 
ried David, son of William Malcolm, of Cupar, Fife. She was born 
1682, died January 13th, 1700. David Malcolm was born 1659, died 
October 8th, 1706. 
Our Katheriue Melville could have been the grand-daughter of any of the 
foregoing sous: William may have had other children besides the one 
who married Mr. Douglas. It will be noticed that Mr. Malcolm does 
not state that either John, James, Charles or Robert were married. 
This is very probable. Our Charles Johnston may have been named 
after Charles Melvill, and his sister, Isabel Johnston, after Isabel 
Mason, wife of Robert Melvill, mother of Charles Melvill. Mr. Mal- 
colm called my attention to the fact that our Melville had an " e " at 
the end of the name. This, I think, is immaterial. We have no 
knowledge that our Melville was not originally spelt " Melvill." 



27 

The following is a portion of what was enclosed with my letter to Mr. 
Malcolm and was told to me by my grandmother, Henrietta G. ,Ravenel 
Macbeth (107), about 1880. 

Mary, daughter of Eobert Mackenzie and his wife, Mar}' 

. . . . , married Charles Johnston of Scotland. Charles Johnston, born 
1732, died January 23rd, 1804, at Charleston, So. Ca. He was the son 
of Robert (?) Johnston and his wife Katheriue Melville (said to be 
Lady Melville and descendant of Sir James Melville) ; a sister of Catherine 
Melville married a Malcolm. All we know of Charles Johnston was 
that he had several first cousins by the name of Malcolm. (The "first 
cousins" may have been 3rd or 4th). All the foregoing has been 
inserted for future reference. 

(80) Catherine Melville, seventh generation, married, , 

Robt. (?) Johnston (53). 

Merlat:

Mlanlaye: 

(83) Jacquettc Miaulaye, fourteenth generation, married 

, Jehun Eavenel (97). 

Newman: 

Robert Newman (84), was probably a native of " Upper St. Johns," 
Berkley County, So. Ca. Repeated attempts have been made to 
trace the family, but without success. 

(84) Robert Newman , eighth generation, married, , 

and had a daughter named Esther (85 ) , who 

was born, and died November 13th, 1767. He 

probably had other children as the name is one that is familiar to 
the present generation.

(88) Marie Piedeuin, tenth generation, married Valentine Gourdin (41). 

Their son, J^ouis (the emigrant), came from Concourt, Artois, 
France .

Their daughter Catherine (9), who afterwards married Noah Serr^

Huguenots, was born at Lyons, France. 
Prloleaii: 

In Baird's Huguenots, Vol. 2, it states that Elias Prioleau's grandfather 
was Elisee Priolcau, and on the tablet erected to his memory in the Hu- 
guenot church in Charleston that " His father, Samuel Prioleau, son of 
Antoine Prioleau. " The foregoing is most likely a mistake. Elisee 
Prioleau was probably the grandfather of Pastor Elie. The only accu- 
rate record, I believe, is in the "List of So. Ca. Huguenots, " of those 
who desired naturalization, in 1696, where it was necessary to state the 
names of parents. In the list referred to, Elias Prioleau states that his 
parents were Samuel Prioleau and Jeanne Merlat.

The collecting of signatures has been a very difficult task. Correspondence 
with the present owner of a document, letter, etc., signed by an ancestor, 
with the view of obtaining a copy thereof, is much desired. 

In addition to the signatures included in this collection, the wills of many 
ancestors have been found and their location noted. If the original wills 
are in existence efforts should be directed towards obtaining a/ac simile 
of the testator's signature. The wills of many of the Gaillards, Gourdins, 
Ravenels, Mazycks, Chastaigners, de St. Juliens, also of Pierre Burtel 
and Henry Noble are probably in the office of the Judge of Probate, 
Charleston, So. Ca. 



47 

The wills of Pierre Baudoin ( ) and of his wife, Elizabeth ( ) are recorded 

in Boston, Mass.

they last resided.
